With 20 schools taking part, the winning group is the St. Mary Catholic School in Brantford, despite the group joining only 7 days before the close of the month-long challenge! While many of the school's students felt they'd never catch up with the lead teams, their determination (and hours of playing) put them in first place.

The school raised a total was of 1,307,490 grains with 66 members participating. A clear victory!

They win a specially designed school plaque donated by George. He is also signing and donating 10 Freerice t-shirts for the top Freericers in the group.

The real winners however, are the people of Cambodia who will receive the rice earned by all the schools. In total, the competition in Canada earned 3,755,220 grains of rice. This means that by rising to the challenge, students were able to feed nearly 200 people who would otherwise have nothing to eat. Congratulations and well done Canada!

Freerice is maintained by and supports the United Nations World Food Programme, the world's largest humanitarian organization fighting hunger worldwide. To find out more go to WFP.org

seriously get this competiton in the U>S
i just started.
and i'm planning onto attaining atleast 10k points everyday, even during school days.
or more :)
I'm quiting all my games, and playing this.
i will benefit in either ways.

My school came in 2nd place. Our school only has 84 students from Junior K to grade 8. The teacher from St. Mary's wrote to me to say how tense we made her kids and how the competition really brought out the best in both our schools. We were sad to lose, (by 100 000 grains!) but the real winners were the children that were fed!
I am so proud of everyone who plays. Keep up the good work and remember why we are doing it!
